START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW. You may need to skip steps or rearrange them based on the information and data you have in order to find people. Background relationships, actions, jobs, etc. can guide you on where to start. People finding isn't a lock step process...but there are steps you can take.
USE LIMITED SEARCHES TO FIND PEOPLE.Background on limited searches: A limited search can help you find people in several different ways. First you can give specific phrases that have to be present together in that order by using a set of quotation marks. Simply surround their full name, for example, in the search box with quotation marks. Add further specifiers and limiters by using words such as AND or NOT. AND command requires the search results to have both elements such as 'John Whereishe' AND 'Somewhere, PA' NOT 'Anywhere, PA.'This quickly limits the searches to the specifics you have to find people, background included.
USE RELATIONSHIPS TO FIND PEOPLE.A totally free people find technique is to simply look for people you know are connected. Sometimes in a relationship there is one net savvy person and another net avoider. Look for the one you know will have a website, a listed email, or a contact page online.
USE SOCIAL NETWORKING TOOLS TO FIND PEOPLE. Background searches aren't the only way to find people. Facebook and twitter are increasingly helpful at reconnecting. If you went to school together, search facebook's network connected with your school. Look for relationships and friends that would connect you with them. If you think their name might have changed, look simply for their first name.
USE PUBLIC INFORMATION TO FIND PEOPLE. If you know a county where someone lives but don't have an address don't lose hope. If they are homeowners your county auditor or assessor has their address in a publicly searchable file, often online. Search for the last name using your county's website. You can also check other public records such as auctions, court trials, and newspapers.
USE YOUR OWN NETWORK TO FIND PEOPLE. Do you know where people are who might know where this person is? Send out a mass email titled 'looking for...' and see if you can find any leads.
TRICK THE PAID PEOPLE FINDERS. Many paid people finders will only give you initial information to get you hooked. But a few of them will give you the name, age, and town before they make you pay. If you can find one of those, that information may be all you need to then use the internet's free resources to find the rest. See more tips and warnings on people finding below.

How to Host a Business Meeting for Japanese PeopleIn Feburary 2016 22,
In Feburary 2016 22,
Notify all participants of the start time as early as possible, and make sure that everyone---Japanese and non-Japanese alike---understands that the meeting will start at this time. Japanese culture places a high emphasis on consideration for others, and punctuality is a sign of respect.
Choose a quiet location if possible. Many Japanese people speak English, or have studied English, but background noises can make it difficult to follow conversations. Having the meeting in a quiet location will ensure a comfortable listening environment.
Provide a choice of beverages. Contrary to popular stereotypes, not all Japanese people drink Japanese tea, especially not at business meetings with non-Japanese persons. It Is best, if possible, to provide participants with a choice of coffee, tea, Japanese tea and water.
Make sure there is ample table space for people to lay out papers and, if they need, an electronic dictionary. Again, many Japanese people speak English, but they may want, from time to time, to check the meaning of obscure or unknown words used during the meeting.
Allow time before the meeting starts for people to exchange business cards and informally introduce themselves to one another. Exchanging business cards is a significant and obligatory act for Japanese business persons.
Starting the Meeting
Signal that the meeting will start, allowing people to organize themselves and prepare.
Introduce the participants. If you are conducting the meeting in Japanese, use the Japanese style of introduction: organization first, family name second followed by '-san.' given name last. You may choose to let the participants introduce themselves; this is perfectly acceptable, and, if in English, the Japanese person may enjoy the challenge of displaying their English ability in front of the group.
Restate the purpose and goals of the meeting. This should have been announced beforehand, but it will help people if they are reminded. Staying on topic is a sign of consideration in Japan.
Conducting the Meeting
Do not interrupt persons when they are speaking. Allow speakers time to make their point. In Japan, people tend to explain points by first giving reasons and then stating the point, whereas people in Western cultures state the point first and then give reasons. This different communication style can be a source of impatience on the part of Westerners, and is best handled by not interrupting.
Stay on topic. Keep any asides or anecdotes for the end or the meeting.
Avoid the use of humor. Even though Japanese culture is changing, and humor is quite common in Japan, it is still best to avoid humor in business meetings. Humor may be a sign of friendship for Americans, but for Japanese business people it can be a sign of immaturity, and also runs the risk of not breaking through the language- or culture-barrier.
Be prepared for direct questions. The website 'Foreign Translations' warns readers that Japanese people tend to be direct in their questions when getting to know new people (see Reference 1). Questions such as 'How much money do you make?' 'Are you single?' or 'How old are you?' may occur. If you are not comfortable answering such questions, find a polite way to deflect the question and do not show offense.
